Move the Edina Arts Center to this location. Create classrooms, gallery space, conference space, and high light the arts in Edina. The current space is too small, in an inconvenient place, and not up to par for Edina. Let's highlight our vast pool of creative individuals.

In regards to most Edina Police, I have seen most of them to be irrational to Edina's own citizens.

This has now gone on for more than a decade.

The Edina Police need to hold themselves accountable for their unlawful actions and unfair treatment.

As stated before by many - The Edina Police is an overly funded department.

We could easily cut it in half by eliminating certain roles and automating them, why are we spending money for the police to have lunch and leave their cars running? This is not only a waste of gas but it pollutes our environment.

The court appearances that are made for lost cases, the miles, the time, etc. This could be a huge tax reduction to all Edina tax payers.

When is the last time an Edina police officer did something nice for you to give back to our community? Besides the events they are forced and paid to attend.

Edina has a major buckthorn problem in its parks and private property. Removing buckthorn is an arduous task that requires a lot of community volunteer effort and is seemingly never ending.

Herds of goats are used as a natural solution to the problem of invasive plants. Apparently, if fenced into a piece of land, they are natural weed removers and reputedly like the taste of buckthorn. Here is a story about Minnesota DNR using goats in this way.

Groom a creek for skating commuters, dog walkers, stroller pushers, hockey players and general dawdlers. For an example, see Winnipeg's Assiniboine River 4 mile skating trail. Is it a good fit for our community? Will it promote a healthy lifestyle for young and old?

(This would give those young hockey players and figure skaters more ice time!)

Higher density would be a good thing in this area because it would enable some more affordable housing options, especially for older adults who want to downsize their homes without leaving the Edina community. It's also close to downtown and public transportation and could offer commercial services like restaurants, a coffee shop--local community and neighborhood gathering places.
